Few neurosurgeons work less than 50-60 hours a week (80+ is not at all unusual), practically all of them complain about lack of time with family (high divorce rate), and hobbies are usually flexible ones (e.g. if you run, better run around a track when you're on call).
Brain surgeons typically perform 40 to 50 brain surgeries and 160 to 180 spine surgeries a year. It is not unusual for them to perform 15 brain surgeries in a week. Oftentimes, they find themselves working 60-plus hours in a single 7-day span. Doesn't leave a lot of time to catch up on all your Thursday shows. Luckily, they can catch up with their family and friends using Twitter or Facebook in between surgeries.
